    Does anyone in general like the Pro Stick?

    To be honest, I hate it. I felt the 2K13 controls were perfect. I switched back to 2K13 controls and now I can't throw oops or flashy passes.

    Does anyone generally speaking like the Pro Stick over the 2K13 controls? I really tried to give the Pro Stick some time, but it just didn't work for me.

    I tried it for a week and didn't like it.
    Switched back and haven't regretted it since.

    (I'm sitll mad when sometimes during a pullup or crossover my player fires a random shot off when I didn't mean to. Even switching my controls back didn't disable the ability to shoot with the stick.)

      Pro Stick Controls are the best ever created mechanism.

          I've picked it up and have gotten really good with it, but I still prefer the 2K13 controls.

          Pro-Stick encourages too much pounding of the ball and random crossovers IMO.

            Now not everybody spams 360 lay ups, or euro step threes, so the change is not that bad

              Don't like it.
              It's not as responsive as last years.
              I never use the flashy passes.
              The previous editions right stick passing was much better and convenient to me.
              Keeping the shooting tied into the modifier made so much sense.
              Cant stand the fact that the game decides which kind of layup or dunk that I attempt.
              Removing options is never good...

                I really like it. I chain together moves/shots a lot easier this year than in past versions.

                I just still don't get why they thought Flashy Passes was worth being on the left trigger. I don't think I've even attempted to use it since the first day.

                  I love it.

                  It is almost exactly like the controls for 2k11, and add in the quick dribble moves.

                  I played 2k11 the most, so a similar return to that scheme was much welcomed.

                    I like the pro stick too. I can chain moves easier and flow into a shot ALOT better than last years controls. Controls were abit cumbersome in my opinion.

                      I hate the spin jumpers (animations are not smooth or consistent). I hate the fact that you can't control left or right hand layups (everyone can do the euro step). I also hate the fact that some of the jumpers have a hitch/inconsistent (especially coming off screens). Other than that, I've gotten used to the Pro stick. I also hate the triple threat. Overall it's ok and make the best out of it. But can't say that I love it, cuz I don't.

                        I don't like it. It's not because I don't know how to use it I pretty much have if down pack. 2k13 to me was perfect layout. Everything felt smooth it was complex but not over done. On pro stick I find myself "flicking" to dribble then end up shooting. I go in for a floater my PG does a flashy pass. Last year was a better overalls layout to me.

                          Absolutely hate the Pro Stick. I can't tell you how many times I have accidentally fired a jumper when trying to do something else. Everything just feels sloppy to me.

                          Last year felt perfect, and everything was so responsive.

                              Same here. I totally felt that last year's stick was more intuitive. It doesn't make sense to me that a primary move (shooting) is a secondary control. Sure the 'X' button is available, but I also don't like that 'making a mistake' while dribbling causes you to at least pick-up-your-dribble, and at worst, to errantly shoot the ball. 2K13's controls were much better.

                              The developers may have 'aimed for 2K14's controls last year', but in their haste to develop what they wanted, they haven't seen that most users prefer last year's controls.

                              BTW, I also dislike having a mapped control to perform 'flashy passes' when other moves could have been included.
